Analysis of the Cybersecurity in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN): A Review Literature

Abstract:

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are self-configured networks that do not require physical infrastructure and are mainly deployed in unmonitored environments. This study aimed to analyze cybersecurity, highlighting the classification of attacks generated in WSN and the encryption algorithms implemented to secure data. As a result of this work, a sample of 750 scientific publications was obtained. Due to an inclusion and exclusion process, 47 potential studies were included, covering 2013–2020 years, using important technological digital libraries. This work facilitates understanding the main characteristics concerning the attacks suffered by these networks and mitigation mechanisms used. This analysis allowed us to understand the security protocols’ main characteristics, about the attacks suffered by these networks, based on cryptographic algorithms, which provide the critical information to maintain a clear understanding of cybersecurity in WSN. As a final instance, this work could be considered a starting point for further research projects on cybersecurity in WSNs and the development and implementation of testbed labs apply in the educational setting.
